SAN FRANCISCO The CEO of Cruise, General Motors’ robot taxi unit, on Saturday apologized for the company's situation following an accident that led to the pause of its self-driving vehicle operations.

In an email to staff seen by Reuters, Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt said the firm will make a new tender offer to allow employees to sell shares, just two days after cancelling its earlier offer.
